2005 WORST MOMENTS FOR NYT

And in the Spring of 1943 (more than one year before the Trinity Test), under the Lend-Lease program, the US shipped to the USSR tens of tons of nuclear materials (including enriched uranium). The director of Lend-Lease was Harry "The Hop" Hopkins - FDR's alter ego.

Or, this scenario:
NOTE:: SO that there be NO misunderstandings, this is pure SATIRE!!

We at the TIMES have learned of the top-secret project, called the Manhattan Project, to produce a workable fission reaction, and ultimately, a weapon of such destructiveness that it could destroy the planet.

Our question is: WHY??

WHY would our government need such a device for, anyhow?? Certainly there are rumors that Chancellor Hitler is working on such a device, but inside sources have assured us that Mr. Hitler is in no way working on a weapon. Rather, his scientists are working on a new means of peaceful power production, that would give all of Germany cheap, plentiful electric power. Unlike our fascistic government here, which is bloodthirsty and seeks to impose American Imperialism on all of the World, including the helpless Japanese!!

For some reason the Roosevelt regime feels it has the right to invade peaceful countries like Germany. we here have been assured that all of the rumors of German occupation of Poland, Italy, France and such, is simply lies perpetrated by Roosevelt and Churchill, so that they can cover their warmongering from the American people. Likewise, the rumors of "Death camps", and orture and killing of Jews are also lies, as Mr. Hitler and Mr. Himler, head of the freedom-fighters in Germany,(called by the Roosevelt regime the "SS" ),assured the TIMES that no such death camps have EVER existed, nor will any be built. In fact, a film shown by Mr. Himler to the TIMES showed the greatest cooperation between the Jewish people in Germany and the Freedom fighters. Not ONE Jewish person was shown to be unhappy, or in the appearance of improper treatment. The rumors of such treatment and "Concentration camps" are simply more Roosevelt-Churchill lies.

SO, needless to say, the Roosevelt regime is simply spreading these lies about the peaceful country Germany and its rightful, duly-elected leader, Chancellor Hitler, to cover its insatiable desire to control all of the world, and steal its resources, so that Roosevelt and Churchill's rich friends can get richer. There is no threat from Germany, nor will their ever be.
